St George's CofE Primary School
About St George's CofE Primary School
St George’s CofE Primary School in South Derbyshire is a state primary for mixed pupils aged 4 to 11, and it’s a school that local families clearly want to get into. With a capacity of 210 and 206 pupils on roll, it’s essentially full, and the 2025/26 admissions data tells you just how popular it is: there were 68 applications for just 19 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.58. All 19 first-preference applicants were offered a place, but that still leaves a lot of families disappointed. The school serves a community with above-average levels of disadvantage — 31.6% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, compared with a national average that typically sits around 23-24% for primary schools. That context matters when you look at the school’s results and Ofsted rating, because it’s achieving what it does with a cohort that faces more challenges than many.
